I sometimes think I should’ve gotten in more fights in my younger days, or at least gotten in A fight. It might’ve been an effective way to blow off steam. Instead I just grew up with a slowly-building rage and inclination to hate at the slightest provocation. Now I don’t know what to do with it. Conversely, maybe I should have learned how to deal with my feelings instead of getting good at repressing them but uh...

a bone to pick posted:The thing I'm most ashamed of is that I never had sex in high school when girls were literally throwing themselves at any cock that moved. If I could go back I would be a man whore and just sleep with everyone I could instead of being a prude. i didn't have sex in high school, and as a result i only had one boyfriend in high school and he broke up with me for not having sex with him my self-esteem was way too high for me to get pressured into anything, which is fine i guess

Probably have them make less mean/joking comments about homosexuality. Maybe just less mean/bullying in general. More discipline would have helped after we only lived with mom. Luckily I got knocked on my rear end really fast after leaving the house so I figured things out fast. I think things all turned out fine all things considered  my parents are flawed but they did a good job.Barudak posted:Definitely would have convinced my parents to take a taxi home instead of walking when we watched Zorro lol warez fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Oct 27, 2017 |

My parents were more "friends" than parents. Bad habit from them is mockery to show affection, because they are emotionally retarded or something So when I mock my thin skinned goon BF he gets upset, and doesn't understand that I mock because I love. What a pansy-rear end fucker he is

I'd kill to skip out on male puberty and spend the fun part of childhood as a girl.

Add me to the sarcastic upbringing group. My entire family relentlessly mocks each other to the point where the yearly Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering usually ends up with someone in tears or driving home in the middle of the night on Christmas eve. I made a girlfriend cry one time because after genuinely laughing at her joke I told her to call Guiness and report the first funny joke ever told by a woman and she almost broke up with me because she said I was saying that she was never funny before that. It's like I'm on an alien planet sometimes because even dude bros get their feelings hurt when I make fun of them for catching a cold or something.

I should have kissed li'l Cindy Ridgeway, right on her dirty ginger mouth. I KNOW she was crazy about me, and instead of hemming and hawing and what-iffing I shoulda just laid one right on her and driven us both on down to Snog Town. Hell, I shoulda kissed all the girls, instead of being an enormous candyass all the way till my junior year when Kathy Lew practically had to force her sweet, throbbing tongue down my throat to snap me the gently caress out of it, and by then the die had been unfortunately cast. Ah well, all water and other bodily fluids under the bridge at this point. Bimmi fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Thank you for being honest and at least somewhat self-aware about this, but I've had this sort of 'friendship' before and it is the motherfucking worst. Then again, if I'd had a dad who'd taught me there are other ways of dealing with adversity than drinking and barely-repressed rage, maybe I'd have grown a thicker skin and not be such a crybaby bitch.

In retrospect I'm happy I didn't have sex as a teenager, the very thought of accidentally knocking somebody up and potentially being stuck in my hometown is just horrifying.

Oh well that's easy I'd make it so that my mom wasn't addicted to meth. I can hardly imagine what I'd be like but I probably wouldn't be quite as self-destructive and neurotic. Can only imagine that'd be an improvement.

I have this theory though that maybe parents loving you up is what drives people to want kids. Like, to fix the mistakes, to give someone what you didit have, to prove your parents wrong. Like my childhood was idyllic and would love to relive it exactly as it was, and I've never had any inclination at all to have kids. I guess it's got to be some kind of genetically implanted compulsion though, otherwise adoption would be way more prevalent, right?
